My 3-year-old has a passion for banging his tiny hands on the keyboard and clicking the mouse randomly. In no time he sends files on the desktop to the Recycle Bin, drags the taskbar to fill up half the screen, creates a shortcut on the desktop for “New Text Document,” and to provide a finishing touch to his work, he offers me a view of My Computer’s properties.
Do you have a computer-savvy toddler at home who loves some hardcore keyboard and mouse action while you are away from your terminal? Protect your computer keyboard, mouse, drive doors, and the power button from your kid with Toddler Keys.
Toddler Keys is a small program that does these things efficiently:
1. Lock the keyboard and mouse at the same time.
2. Lock just the keyboard.
3. Lock CD/DVD drive doors.
4. Disable power button.
A Toddler Keys icon sits on your system tray. Just double click it to lock both the keyboard and mouse and the screen turns black. You’ll see a nice crayon doodle following your cursor when you move your mouse after locking it. You need to type a particular word to unlock the keyboard and mouse, and you can choose the word from Options.
You can replace the doodle with a picture or a wav sound that’s displayed/played when you lock both the keyboard and mouse.
Toddler Keys works on Windows XP, Windows 95/98/ME/2000/2003 Server and is spyware-free.
A con: after unlocking your keyboard and mouse, you might notice that the CTRL or Alt behaves funny. Simply quit Toddler Keys to fix this.
Download Toddler Keys here.
(You need the Windows Installer to install this. If it isn’t already installed on your system get it from here)
